Reading Response 5/10- Apps, Blockchain, and Digital Currency
I like the point that the reading The Mobile Browser is Dead, Long Live the App raises about applications relationship with mobile browsers, such as Google and Apple. It is apparent that apps are the future of online technology, but in order to exist and function, they need a platform to be housed in; “where a mobile …

Reading Response 5/3- Mashups and Their Consequences
Mashups are posing a potential threat to online copyright laws, due to the fact that these applications are still in their developmental stages.

Reading Response 3/22- Media in a Changing Global Culture
Although I do agree with the notion that the progression of media and technology has played a significant part in uniting various cultures, I don’t foresee the world becoming one homogeneous culture because of it.
